Saturday was very busy around winter ball, led by six Pittsburgh Pirates playing both games of a doubleheader in Australia. In fact, one of the games had the six Pirates batting 1-6 in the lineup. Here’s the full recap from around the globe.
In Australia, Jase Bowen (pictured) went 0-for-3 in the opening game. He was 0-for-3 with a walk in game two. He’s hitting .286 with a .667 OPS in 11 games.
Jesus Castillo went 1-for-3 in the opening game. That hit was a lead-off single in the bottom of the first, and it ended up being the only hit for Sydney.
